Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed for research into skin pigmentation and melanocortin system activity. It is widely studied for its ability to promote melanin production and influence multiple pathways related to pigmentation and physiological responses.
Pigmentation Enhancement Studies
Research indicates that Melanotan 2 can significantly increase melanin production, often resulting in faster and more pronounced pigmentation compared to baseline models.
Melanocortin System Activation
MT-2 interacts with multiple melanocortin receptors, making it a broader-acting compound in studies beyond just pigmentation.
UV Response Models
Studies suggest enhanced melanin levels may improve resistance to UV-related damage in controlled research settings.
Intended Use:
Melanotan 2 is intended for research purposes only. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is required before use.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from light. After reconstitution, keep refrigerated at 2–8°C.
Solubility:
Reconstitute with BAC water. Gently swirl to dissolve—do not shake.
Vial Size:
Lyophilized powder in multi-dose vial (commonly supports up to 3ml reconstitution).
Shelf Life:
Lyophilized: up to 24 months
Reconstituted: recommended use within 4–6 weeks
Handling:
Use sterile techniques to maintain product stability.
